Product Information

Full details

The Ovex Single Tablet Treatment is designed for individuals and families seeking a straightforward solution to threadworm infections. Its key benefit is a convenient, single-dose administration that effectively eliminates threadworms. A crucial consideration is that all household members (over 2 years old) should be treated simultaneously to prevent re-infection, and it is not suitable for children under two years old. This treatment is a chewable, orange-flavoured tablet that is easy to take.

FAQs

How does Ovex Single Tablet Treatment work?

Ovex Single Tablet Treatment contains Mebendazole, which works by preventing threadworms from absorbing the sugars they need to survive and reproduce, effectively eliminating them from the gut.

Who can take Ovex Single Tablet Treatment?

It is suitable for adults and children aged 2 years and over. It is not suitable for children under 2 years of age, or for pregnant or breastfeeding women (who should consult their doctor).

How should Ovex Single Tablet Treatment be taken?

Take one tablet orally. It can be chewed or swallowed whole. If necessary, crush the tablet before giving it to young children.

Why is it important for all household members to be treated?

Threadworm infections are highly contagious. Treating all eligible household members simultaneously helps to break the cycle of infection and prevent re-infestation within the home.

What if I miss a dose?

This treatment is a single dose. Do not take a second dose unless advised by a doctor. If symptoms persist after two weeks, consult your doctor.

Can I take Ovex if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?

Ovex Single Tablet Treatment is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for advice on suitable treatments.

What are the ingredients in Ovex Single Tablet Treatment?

The active ingredient is Mebendazole 100mg. Other ingredients include microcrystalline cellulose, sodium starch glycollate, talc, maize starch, sodium saccharin, magnesium stearate, cottonseed oil - hydrogenated, orange flavour, colloidal anhydrous silica, sodium laurylsulfate, and orange yellow S (E110).

Troubleshooting

Symptoms persist after treatment.

Consult your doctor if threadworm symptoms continue after two weeks. A second dose may be advised by a healthcare professional.
